driving along a country road just outside

THE PROPHETS NAMESAKE.

Willie was asleep, and Fan was
lonely. Willie is the minister's young
est son, and Dan is his dog. 1t was
Sunday morning, and every one was at
church but these two friends, and they
had been at play in the hayloft.
1t was warm and sunny, and through
the loft window they could plainly hear
the good minister preaching, for their
house was next door to the church.
"Dan," said Willie, stretching himself
out on the nice, soft hay, "it is better
here than at church, for you can hear
every word, and don't get prickles down
your back as you do when you have to
sit up straight"
In sone way, while Willie was listen
ing, and watching the dusty notes rid
ing on the sunbeams, he fell asleep.
Dan kissed him on the nose several
times. but when Willie went asleep he
went to stay, and did not mind trlfes.
Dan gave it up at last. He sat down
with the funniest look of care on his
wise black face, and with one car ready
for outside noises.
Now the minister had for his subject
this Sunday morning, "Daniel." Alas !
thi, was the name he always gave Dan
when he was teaching him to sit up and
beg, and other tricks. While the dog
was in the hayloft thinking, the name
"Danicl' fell into the ready ear. Dan
at once jumped down and ran into the
church through the vestry door. He
stood on his hind legs, with his fore
paws meekly dropping, close beside the
minister, who did not see him. But
the congregation did. When the min.
lister shouted 'Danlel' again, two sharp
soprano barks said Eyes, sir" as plainly
as Dan could answer
The minister started back, looked
around and saw the funny little picture !;
then he coughed and wondered what
he should do next. But just then
through the vestry came Willie, with
bits OF hay sticking to his golden curls.
Hi. face was rosy from sleep, and he
looked little frightened. He walked
straight toward his father, and took Dan
in his arms and said, please 'scuse
Dan, papa. l vented asleep and he
runned away" Then he walked out
again with Dan. looking back at the
smiling congregation
The minister ended his sermon on
Daniel as best he could but then he
made a resolve that if he ever preached
about the prophet Daniel again he
would remember to tie up his little
black and tan namesake-OM Little
ones.

THE WEEK BEFORE CHRISTMAS,

THE WEEK BEFORE CHRISTMAS,
'Tis the week before Christmas,
And all in the house
Are plotting and planning
As sly ~ mouse.
Strange bundles are smugged
Inside, unaware,
And hidden away with
The greatest of care.
The children, with secrets
They're burning to tell,
And in an excitement
That nothing can quell,
Are hourly asking
How many more days
Before it is Christmas,
With cheeks all ablaze.
The old folks. as eager,
The fever have caught,
And crowd in the places
Where presents are bought.
To them Merry Christmas
Is sweeter, we know,
Than when their own stockings
Were filled long go.
Way up from the kitchen
Spiced odors arise
OF genuine, ornemsde.
Delicious nince-pies,
just stuffed full OF raisius
AS big and AZ round
As little Jack Horner
So happily found.
The long winter nights
All much longer appear,
For who can sleep soundly
With Christmas so near.
And now, for the stockings!
No tots tiny hose
Can hold half the treasures
KISS kringle bestows;
So mammals great big ones
Are got with delight,
All ready TO hang up
On Santa Claus night.
Now, Christmas is near! and
ST. Nick in his sleigh,
Behind his swift reindeers,
Is flying this way.
He's now on the snow clouds,
He'll he at your gate;
Prepare for his coming
There's no time to wait.

IF | SHOULD DIE TONIGHT.

The version, as recently corrected 10y the
author, Rob't c. V. Myers OF Philadelphia
Ii | should die tonight,
My friends would look upon my quiet face
Before they laid it in its resting place.
And deem that death had left ii almost fai =,
And laying snow white flowers against my
hair,
Would smooth it down with fearful tender
ness,
And fold my hands with lingering carers-
Poor hands, SO empty and so cold tonight !
If | should die tonight,
My friends would call to mind with loving
thought
Some kindly deed the icy hand had wrought
Somc gentle word the frozen lips had said ;
Errands or which the willing feet had sped.
The memory. OF my srltishness and pride,
My hasty words would all be put aside,
And so | should be loved and mourned to-
night.
If | should die tonight,
Even hearts eSIrADS"u Woulu turn once
more to me,
Recalling other days remorsefully,
The eyes that chill me with avertrd glance
Would look upon me as Of yore, perchance
Would sof en- in the old familiar way;
For who would war with dumb, uncon-
scious clay?
So might rest, forgiven OF al tonight.
Oh, friends, | pray tonight.
Keep not your kisses for nv dead, cold
brow;
The way is lonely, let me feel them now,
Think gently of me: am travel worn:
My faltering feet are pierced with many a
thorn.
Forgive, o hearts estranged, forgive, l
plead.
When dreamless rest is mine | shall not
The tenderness for which l long tonight.

From that day Edith and l were on a

from our neighbOrhood, and think
Edith missed him a good deal. Mrs.
Lyall asked me more than once if did
not think change would do her good,
which gave me an opportunity of teas
ing Edith on the sly. 1t ended, how
ever, on her going on a visit to some
friends. She departed with so much
cheerfulness that felt convinced she
had contrived some means of seeing
the "nameless one" as / called him,
and accused her of it; but she only
laughed and said "Nonsensel" and that
is easily said, and we had quite touch
ing little parting in the garden, and /
called her my dear child" L found
